2215: We Are Doomed | Insights on the Coming Economic Collapse with Harry Dent Part 1
Jason expressed skepticism about Harry Dent's predictions and emphasized the importance of looking at real data rather than relying on trends or assumptions. He discussed the current state of the housing market, the benefits of moving to a lower cost of living area, and the potential for future changes in housing prices. Jason also introduced a monthly masterclass on Northwest Indiana, encouraged attendees to register for one-on-one discussions, and hinted at future sessions on asset protection. Today Jason welcomes Harry Dent, a renowned economic forecaster, discussed the prolonged economic bubble. He emphasized that the current bubble, driven by massive government stimulus and money printing, is unprecedented in its longevity—three times longer than historical bubbles. Dent believes the bubble, which should have burst by 2021, has been artificially extended due to ongoing government intervention. He predicts the bubble will pop soon, with financial markets starting to crash in 2024, reaching their lowest point by 2026-2027. He warns that both stock and real estate markets are significantly overvalued, leading to a painful economic downturn. #HarryDent #EconomicBubble #FinancialCrisis #StockMarketCrash #RealEstateMarket #GovernmentStimulus #GreatRecession #InflationCrisis #FinancialAssets #InvestmentRisks #EconomicOutlook #MarketCrashPrediction #BubbleBurst #RealEstateBubble #Economy Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:28 Hurricane Helene and the rising costs of housing 2:55 Join our Zoom meetings EmpoweredInvestor.com 4:08 Harry "doomer" Dent and the problem with reading "trends" 6:30 Article: housing demand firming up with lower mortgage rates 8:02 Chart: Total Home Sales Contracts Pending 8:28 Buying Power and Sensitivity and the 11 million illegal immigrants 10:59 Affordability 12:47 Crash bros, the democrats and the Socialist Republic of California 15:20 August 2024 Real House Price Index Highlights 19:47 A Cautiously Optimistic Outlook 21:16 Join our Wednesday Zoom meeting!

2213: Inflation-Proof Your Wealth- Real Estate Strategy for Debt Destruction and Financial Freedom | Jason at the Limitless Conference Part 2
Today Jason discusses the recent CoreLogic report showing an average homeowner equity increase of $25,000, dismissing doomsayers predicting a real estate crash. Despite some localized market fluctuations, Jason explains how housing inventory remains low nationwide, keeping demand high. He emphasizes the strong financial cushion that homeowners have, with mortgage delinquencies at historic lows. He then offers valuable insights on housing trends and why the market remains resilient. Jason also finishes up his talk at the Limitless Conference in Austin, Texas. He explains how inflation can erode purchasing power and reduce the real burden of debt over time. He calls this process "Inflation-Induced Debt Destruction." By borrowing money today and repaying it in depreciated dollars, borrowers effectively "short the dollar." Hartman highlights that real estate is a prime asset to use in this strategy, as property values typically appreciate while debt becomes easier to repay in the future. Through this method, investors can turn inflation into a powerful wealth-building tool by leveraging debt and benefiting from rising asset prices. #JasonHartman #InflationStrategy #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #ShortTheDollar #DebtDestruction #InflationHedge #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateWealth #PassiveIncome Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:28 Evacuation 2:25 Additional $25k in Equity 6:35 The Equity chart 8:20 Article: Selma Hepp from Corelogic Jason Speaking at the Limitless Conference Part 2 12:45 Inflation and shorting the dollar 17:03 6 ways to get out of a mess 24:42 Inflation: Business plan of the Elites Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

2212: Following the Global Elite's Business Plan | Jason at the Limitless Conference Part 1
In his talk at the Limitless Conference in Austin Texas last August 29-31, Jason discusses strategies for protecting and growing wealth in an inflationary environment by using real estate and other commodities. He introduces the Hartman Comparison Index (HCI), which compares the cost of housing to other assets like gold and oil, offering insights into affordability over time. Hartman argues that despite rising interest rates and housing prices, real estate remains relatively affordable compared to historical standards. He highlights that homeowners are financially stable, with many holding low-interest mortgages, reducing the likelihood of a housing market crash due to low inventory and minimal distressed properties. #WealthProtection #InflationStrategy #RealEstateMarket #BeatTheSystem #MonetaryPolicy #HousingAffordability #InvestmentTips #GoldVsRealEstate #HartmanComparisonIndex #FinancialFreedom #MarketTrends #EconomicInsights #WealthBuilding #FederalReserve #RealEstateInvestment Key Takeaways: 2:09 Overview 3:52 Affordability crisis 6:33 The Hartman Comparison Index 12:52 News Headlines and the Millennials 14:52 National Payment to Income ratio and the housing shortage 20:11 Buying power and sensitivity and number of mortgages by interest rates 22:49 The Dogs that don't bark 26:12 Blogpost: Navigating the Maze-The Most Distressing Rehab Purchase Issues for the Buyers Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

2211 FBF: Income Property Investing and the National Housing Market Myth
This Flashback Friday is from episode 173, published last June 11, 2010. Jason is feeling generous… Enjoy an entire free issue of The Financial Freedom Report. Here is our source for innovative, forward-thinking investment property and home-based internet business strategies and advice. Income property investing is the most reliable path to wealth. History has proven it time after time. So, why do people still waste their time and energy with Wall Street’s pitiful selection of junk stocks and laughably inefficient mutual funds? Who knows? Our guess is financial media payola and herd mentality – like buffaloes following the leader in a blind charge over a cliff. Finally, here’s your chance to discover how to create real wealth in America today. Obviously the question is “How do I get there from where I am?” This insurmountable hurdle is what stops most people. They have a hyper-inflated concept of how much money it takes to get started. The truth is,”Not That Much!” The sky really is the limit when you have access to the right information. Information that tells you whether or not an investment makes financial sense the day you buy it. You need to know: Why you shouldn’t believe the “national housing market” myth:– 41 cities around the country hot for investing right now and the hottest micro-markets within them.– How to tell at a glance if a property is a sweet deal and, more importantly, how to avoid the portfolio killers.– Government policies that are destroying your savings, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and equity every single day.– Secret ways you can grow wealthy from inflation while everyone else is moaning “The Economy is Killing Me” blues.– How to apply unique arbitrage techniques to income property and skyrocket your wealth, while almost completely eliminating downside risk. These may be pretty bold claims but income and wealth education pioneer, Jason Hartman, has built a career and a company on putting his money where his mouth is. If you want to create the kind of life-changing wealth Wall Street and other investment schemes promise but never deliver, Jason’s team of Investment Counselors would love to tech you how. They decided the best way to get this cutting-edge investment knowledge out to you is in a premium monthly newsletter, Jason Hartman’s Financial Freedom Report.

2206: Overcoming Mortgage Challenges, Self-Employed Struggles, Rising Insurance Costs, and the $85 Trillion Wealth Transfer with Megan Gorman Part 3
Jason discusses the perceived under attack situation in the United States, particularly for the middle class, and suggested that a potential action step for his listeners is to sell their homes. He also emphasized the importance of mobility and adaptability in the face of political and economic uncertainties, and raised concerns about the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Lastly, he criticized the censorship pressure from the Biden administration on Facebook and announced a master class on Wednesday at noon Pacific time, which would cover topics such as offshore planning and asset protection. Then Jason and Megan finish their conversation. They discuss the challenges self-employed individuals face when applying for mortgages, as banks are skeptical about income verification, requiring detailed profit and loss statements. Megan points out that many small business owners struggle with bookkeeping, further complicating the process.
